Ipod 4th generation problem: frozen apple sign!

hey there

I have a problem with my ipod 4th generation greyscale 20 gb. a few days back I installed rockbox but it doesn´t work properly. one of the main problems is that sometimes after disconnecting it from the computer the old apple software shows up again and I can´t go into rockbox anymore where all my music is.

i read about the dualmode (or so?) in another forum but I dont want to use apple software anymore and i want to delete that dual mode from my ipod. is that possible?

another issue is that my ipod is freezing since yesterday everytime when i disconnect it from my computer. only the apple appears and remains with light switched on untill the battery turns off. I already tried everything, put it in the diskmode, reinstall rockbox... but nothing works!

are there any suggestions you could give? I read in other topics things like throwing the ipod on the carpet or keep the fingers on menu and select for more than a minute but that didn´t work as well  ::)

thanks in advance for any help!

To get back to Rockbox from the Apple firmware, just reset the ipod by pressing and holding Menu and Select simultaneously.
